Sunday was fiesta day in the east end of Glasgow, despite the absence of the beatific sunshine that bathed Hampden Park on Saturday, when Scott Brown captained Celtic to the unprecedented feat of a second successive clean sweep of the Scottish honours. Immediately after the 2-0 victory over Motherwell in the William Hill Scottish Cup final, the captain and his team-mates returned to Parkhead on an open-top bus to bask in the adulation of their support. Scarcely had the streets cleared than the throngs reassembled to salute Brown in his testimonial match against the Republic of Ireland. The Irish, of course, were under the supervision of Martin O’Neill, whose presence was timely on the eve of the 15th anniversary of Celtic’s Uefa Cup final in Seville. On that sweltering Spanish night Henrik Larsson scored twice and, to the rapture of the home crowd, the Swede appeared for yesterday’s warm-up with Brown and the other Celtic players. Henrik Larsson played in Brown's testimonial Credit: ACTION PLUS In 2003, Larsson’s contribution was ultimately insufficient to overcome Jose Mourinho’s Porto side, who went on to win the Champions League the following season. Thwarted they may have been, 15 years ago, but the presence of O’Neill and Larsson evoked potent memories of an era and targets that look out of reach for this Celtic generation. European football has changed beyond recognition as it proceeds, seemingly inexorably, towards a league of billionaire clubs. Against the background of such a trend, Celtic’s acquisition of a double treble of domestic prizes can be disdained by outsiders as irredeemably parochial. The response of the Celtic faithful, however, must be set within a tradition of lustrous achievements, the greatest of which was the 1967 European Cup triumph in Lisbon. The exodus in 2003 from Glasgow to Spain of an estimated 80,000 fans – only half of whom had tickets for the final – testified to a craving for the restoration of European status and was nourished on the road to Seville by victories over the likes of Blackburn (then a power in England), Liverpool and Vfb Stuttgart. The scale of the migration – like that of Rangers to Manchester for the 2008 final – is indicative of a seam of passion devalued by the self-regard of the continental powers. Similar devotion was in evidence for Brown’s celebratory match, which drew a crowd of 55,000. The size of the attendance gratified the captain, whose accumulation of club honours now totals eight league titles, four Scottish Cup medals and four Scottish League Cup successes, which makes him the most decorated Hoops captain after Billy McNeill. The considerable crowd also provided significant donations to a clutch of Brown’s favoured charities, as well as support for the family of the former Celtic and Republic of Ireland midfielder Liam Miller, who died of pancreatic cancer in February at the age of 36. The teams then played out a decorous friendly which finished 2-2. After the revels, O’Neill, the previous Celtic manager to win the Scottish treble, assessed the quality of his successor’s feat. “It’s extremely difficult to do what Celtic have done. Even the great Jock Stein had difficulty with it,” he said. “To do it twice on the trot is excellent. They have deserved it and played some really decent football. The next step now is to try to achieve success in Europe and it would be nice – imagine me saying this – if Rangers could get stronger.” Credit: ACTION PLUS That might be on the cards. A good, strong Rangers is good for the league and, actually, it will benefit Celtic. “Celtic don’t rest on their laurels in Scotland but, if the competition gets stronger, they will rise to it,” said O’Neill. “Steven Gerrard was a brilliant player and that doesn’t always materialise into being a brilliant manager, but he has all the attributes and he wants to have a go. And why not?” Mention of Seville triggered powerful recollections for O’Neill. “Henrik Larsson played his best ever game for Celtic and to lose it in extra-time… well, disappointing wouldn’t describe it,” he said. “But it’s still spoken about and just getting there was great. “We went down to Blackburn and it very much was men against boys at Ewood Park. To then beat Liverpool at Anfield was fantastic. We shouldn’t forget those games on that journey – and that hot evening in Seville will live with me forever.” As it thrives in the memories of the Celtic support who, for all their team’s domestic hegemony, yearn for Rodgers to transplant some part of it to foreign fields.

Arsene Wenger signs off saying he 'had disagreements' with the fans: 'But we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal FC'

To the end, there was dignity and, to use one of his favourite words, , humanity to Arsene Wenger as he bowed out,quite literally, as Arsenal manager after 22 years, 1,235 games and this, his 707th victory. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although that was never a scoreline he cherished or that was associated with him. There was sentimentality, too – and why not as Wenger spoke of the appropriateness of Huddersfield Town being his final opponent in what otherwise was an inconsequential fixture? “Herbert Chapman, maybe our greatest manager, came from here,” Wenger said. “For me to come here on the last day had a special meaning when you know the history of our club. In fact, there was a photo just in front of the dressing room where Chapman smiled at me because he was on the photo.” Chapman smiling down on Wenger is certainly some romantic image, one that resonates powerfully for all Arsenal fans. Chapman was Huddersfield’s greatest manager, in their golden period in the 1920s when they won league titles, with three stars adorning their shirts, and were such a force in English football that he was poached by Arsenal and transformed them too. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 Chapman revolutionised the role of the manager, making him more powerful in an era when decisions were made by committee. Privately, Wenger might ruefully consider the wheel is turning full circle away from his profession, given the nature of his departure, as he first walked past the bust of Chapman at the entrance to the John Smith Stadium, then the photograph before he took to the pitch to be met by a guard of honour. Before kick-off, Wenger strode towards the travelling Arsenal supporters and bowed to them, later saying it was a spontaneous act of appreciation. “We had disagreements, which I accept, but we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal Football Club, and I wanted to share that with them,” he said. Thanks for the 22 years Credit: PA Wenger went to the away dug-out an hour before the game to get some “oxygen”. “It’s difficult to understand when you don’t know how deep the love is for the game [in England],” Wenger said. “It was a fantastic experience for me. Where do I go from there? That’s the difficulty. When you’ve experienced this intensity for such a long time, I don’t know where I go. I’ll remain a fan wherever I go.” Wenger will now look forward to the next phase of his career and his life. The 68-year-old has already divulged he has had many offers and confirmed that they included Premier League clubs. “Yes, I had offers, yes, of course,” he said, “but at the moment, I have not said anything to anybody. I came out of a long process and you cannot just the next morning go somewhere else. It’s impossible.” But could he manage against Arsenal? “I’m not ready for that at the moment,” Wenger said. “That would be very difficult, I’d stay at home that day. Maybe, I don’t envisage that at the moment. Maybe it’s better I go somewhere else.” He suggested that Arsenal are only “some additions” away from competing for the Premier League title. Although that may not only depend on how many is “some” but who manages them, one player who will be crucial to the future is surely Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arsene Wenger waves to the fans before the match Credit: Reuters Wenger’s final signing, if it was his decision, and most expensive ever signing scored the only goal, and it means he has struck 10 times in just 13 league games since he arrived in January for £56 million. The goal was also one that will have delighted Wenger as it was constructed through a slick passing move involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette, with the latter sliding the ball through to Aaron Ramsey who prodded it across goal for Aubameyang to force home. Arsene Wenger's replacement at Arsenal That was tough on Huddersfield who should have scored through Steve Mounie, with a header, and Tom Ince, who ballooned over, but it did not detract from the celebratory atmosphere. However, there may be a pang of alarm from their supporters in the non-committal way manager David Wagner later spoke about his own future, having kept the club up against the odds. Fans hold up a Arsene Wenger banner Credit: Getty Club owner Dean Hoyle had taken to the pitch at half-time to suggest Wagner would stay, but the German later said simply that the chairman was putting “pressure” on himself with that declaration. Time will soon tell.

I think what will remain is the formidable human aspect of the last 22 years – that is special, and I will cherish.” And rightly so.

A Huddersfield player gets a head on it, Ospina bravely gathers and gets a whack in the process. He's stopped it on the line. For a second there is a suggestion that it was over the line, but no. Bit of bad feeling from the players about the challenge on the keeper, and there's a booking. But it is no goal. 4:49PM 90+ mins We are going to have three minutes added.

Perfect ball from Mkhi, ut Lacazette tries to chip the keeper, and Lossl has read him like a comic. Easy grab in the end. 4:36PM 77 mins A corner into the box and that man Mounie has yet again got above his opponents. Cannot get the header on target. He goes down with cramp and, in fact, Wagner is now taking him off. Arsenal's defenders will be glad to see the back of him! 4:33PM 75 mins Ramsey and now Welbeck get chances to deliver balls in, but not able to find the pass. 4:30PM 72 mins Mounie now gets to work on Monreal.

They have a corner. Played short... back in... Mounie! No, that header is well wide. 4:25PM 66 mins Danny Welbeck and Nacho Monreal on. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sead Kolasinac off. I guess Ospina is okay to carry on. He looks a bit sore. 4:24PM 65 mins Deep cross into the Arsenal box, Ospina gathers and gets clattered for his trouble. 4:23PM 64 mins Huddersfield really putting it up to Arsenal now.

Sead Kolasinac , for some reason, decides he's going to try and beat the whole team. Chopped down on the edge of the area by Mathias Jorgensen. 3:18PM 14 mins Ince again! Another shot, this one wide. Arsenal haven't turned up at all and a team with better strikers than Huddersfield would be up by now. 3:15PM Plane speaking An airplane flies over the stadium with a message to Arsene Wenger Credit: Getty 3:14PM 10 mins Unless his spineless team wake up, old Mr W is going to be signing off with a defeat. They're getting opened up with ease here. Alex Pritchard gallopes onto a long ball. He clips it back for Ince, who should have done a lot better from 10 or so yards out. Wellied it over the bar. 3:10PM 9 mins Mounie, who is bullying these Arsenal boys, gets up for a header and crunches Mustafi.

Wagner has no new injuries following Wednesday night's draw at Chelsea, which secured them another season in the top flight. Tom Ince is hoping to feature after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Michael Hefele (knee), Elias Kachunga and Danny Williams (both ankle) remain sidelined.

Arsenal Arsenal will be without the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos for Arsene Wenger's final game as manager when the Gunners travel to Huddersfield on the last day of the Premier League season. The young defender was shown a straight red card in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Leicester and will be forced to sit out the game in West Yorkshire having started the Gunners' last three league matches. Mesut Ozil (back), Mohamed Elneny (ankle), Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla (both Achilles) are also missing but the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Jack Wilshere could return after sitting out in midweek.

What are they saying? David Wagner on Arsene Wenger "I can't imagine that this can happen again, so this only shows he has done something extraordinary," Wagner said. "Words don't describe enough how big this achievement is which he has done for his football club and football in this country. "I'm so happy that we are able to host him in his last Premier League game after 22 years, that we are able to host him in these circumstances, we really can give him all the honour and all the attention he deserves. "This is possible after our last result on Wednesday and we as a football club will do it. We have the biggest respect for what he has done and we're happy we play our last game against him." Best-priced accumulators | New customer offers Wenger on the Emirates "We had to do it," he said, when asked if he would take back the stadium move in exchange for trophies. "There is no club that can turn people who wanted to attend the game down. At the time I thought we were a bit too ambitious with 60,000 (capacity) but at the end of the day it worked," he said. "It's not really happened because other clubs have used outside resources. We had a double handicap. We had to pay back the debt and had to face the competition where clubs have even more resources than they usually have. "I believe Highbury had a special spirit. It's a cathedral, a church. You could smell the soul of every guy that played there. So it was special. It will always be special for me. "The Emirates for me was like buying a new house. It took us a while to feel at home there. It's a fantastic stadium - but there was something special at Highbury that you could never recreate when you build something new. What are the odds? Huddersfield 19/4 Arsenal - 4/7 Draw - 18/5 What's our prediction? Jason Burt: There is nothing riding on Arsene Wenger’s last match in charge of Arsenal except for one thing – can he really end the season as the only manager in English football not to gain any points away from home in 2018? Surely the Arsenal players will not let that happen while Huddersfield, safe from relegation, may still be on that party bus. Prediction: 1-3

Arsene Wenger signs off saying he 'had disagreements' with the fans: 'But we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal FC'

To the end, there was dignity and, to use one of his favourite words, , humanity to Arsene Wenger as he bowed out,quite literally, as Arsenal manager after 22 years, 1,235 games and this, his 707th victory. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although that was never a scoreline he cherished or that was associated with him. There was sentimentality, too – and why not as Wenger spoke of the appropriateness of Huddersfield Town being his final opponent in what otherwise was an inconsequential fixture? “Herbert Chapman, maybe our greatest manager, came from here,” Wenger said. “For me to come here on the last day had a special meaning when you know the history of our club. In fact, there was a photo just in front of the dressing room where Chapman smiled at me because he was on the photo.” Chapman smiling down on Wenger is certainly some romantic image, one that resonates powerfully for all Arsenal fans. Chapman was Huddersfield’s greatest manager, in their golden period in the 1920s when they won league titles, with three stars adorning their shirts, and were such a force in English football that he was poached by Arsenal and transformed them too. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 Chapman revolutionised the role of the manager, making him more powerful in an era when decisions were made by committee. Privately, Wenger might ruefully consider the wheel is turning full circle away from his profession, given the nature of his departure, as he first walked past the bust of Chapman at the entrance to the John Smith Stadium, then the photograph before he took to the pitch to be met by a guard of honour. Before kick-off, Wenger strode towards the travelling Arsenal supporters and bowed to them, later saying it was a spontaneous act of appreciation. “We had disagreements, which I accept, but we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal Football Club, and I wanted to share that with them,” he said. Thanks for the 22 years Credit: PA Wenger went to the away dug-out an hour before the game to get some “oxygen”. “It’s difficult to understand when you don’t know how deep the love is for the game [in England],” Wenger said. “It was a fantastic experience for me. Where do I go from there? That’s the difficulty. When you’ve experienced this intensity for such a long time, I don’t know where I go. I’ll remain a fan wherever I go.” Wenger will now look forward to the next phase of his career and his life. The 68-year-old has already divulged he has had many offers and confirmed that they included Premier League clubs. “Yes, I had offers, yes, of course,” he said, “but at the moment, I have not said anything to anybody. I came out of a long process and you cannot just the next morning go somewhere else. It’s impossible.” But could he manage against Arsenal? “I’m not ready for that at the moment,” Wenger said. “That would be very difficult, I’d stay at home that day. Maybe, I don’t envisage that at the moment. Maybe it’s better I go somewhere else.” He suggested that Arsenal are only “some additions” away from competing for the Premier League title. Although that may not only depend on how many is “some” but who manages them, one player who will be crucial to the future is surely Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arsene Wenger waves to the fans before the match Credit: Reuters Wenger’s final signing, if it was his decision, and most expensive ever signing scored the only goal, and it means he has struck 10 times in just 13 league games since he arrived in January for £56 million. The goal was also one that will have delighted Wenger as it was constructed through a slick passing move involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette, with the latter sliding the ball through to Aaron Ramsey who prodded it across goal for Aubameyang to force home. Arsene Wenger's replacement at Arsenal That was tough on Huddersfield who should have scored through Steve Mounie, with a header, and Tom Ince, who ballooned over, but it did not detract from the celebratory atmosphere. However, there may be a pang of alarm from their supporters in the non-committal way manager David Wagner later spoke about his own future, having kept the club up against the odds. Fans hold up a Arsene Wenger banner Credit: Getty Club owner Dean Hoyle had taken to the pitch at half-time to suggest Wagner would stay, but the German later said simply that the chairman was putting “pressure” on himself with that declaration.

"I'm so happy that we are able to host him in his last Premier League game after 22 years, that we are able to host him in these circumstances, we really can give him all the honour and all the attention he deserves.

"There is no club that can turn people who wanted to attend the game down. At the time I thought we were a bit too ambitious with 60,000 (capacity) but at the end of the day it worked," he said. "It's not really happened because other clubs have used outside resources. We had a double handicap. We had to pay back the debt and had to face the competition where clubs have even more resources than they usually have. "I believe Highbury had a special spirit. It's a cathedral, a church.

Arsene Wenger signs off saying he 'had disagreements' with the fans: 'But we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal FC'

To the end, there was dignity and, to use one of his favourite words, , humanity to Arsene Wenger as he bowed out,quite literally, as Arsenal manager after 22 years, 1,235 games and this, his 707th victory. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although that was never a scoreline he cherished or that was associated with him. There was sentimentality, too – and why not as Wenger spoke of the appropriateness of Huddersfield Town being his final opponent in what otherwise was an inconsequential fixture? “Herbert Chapman, maybe our greatest manager, came from here,” Wenger said. “For me to come here on the last day had a special meaning when you know the history of our club. In fact, there was a photo just in front of the dressing room where Chapman smiled at me because he was on the photo.” Chapman smiling down on Wenger is certainly some romantic image, one that resonates powerfully for all Arsenal fans. Chapman was Huddersfield’s greatest manager, in their golden period in the 1920s when they won league titles, with three stars adorning their shirts, and were such a force in English football that he was poached by Arsenal and transformed them too. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 Chapman revolutionised the role of the manager, making him more powerful in an era when decisions were made by committee. Privately, Wenger might ruefully consider the wheel is turning full circle away from his profession, given the nature of his departure, as he first walked past the bust of Chapman at the entrance to the John Smith Stadium, then the photograph before he took to the pitch to be met by a guard of honour. Before kick-off, Wenger strode towards the travelling Arsenal supporters and bowed to them, later saying it was a spontaneous act of appreciation. “We had disagreements, which I accept, but we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal Football Club, and I wanted to share that with them,” he said. Thanks for the 22 years Credit: PA Wenger went to the away dug-out an hour before the game to get some “oxygen”. “It’s difficult to understand when you don’t know how deep the love is for the game [in England],” Wenger said. “It was a fantastic experience for me. Where do I go from there? That’s the difficulty. When you’ve experienced this intensity for such a long time, I don’t know where I go. I’ll remain a fan wherever I go.” Wenger will now look forward to the next phase of his career and his life. The 68-year-old has already divulged he has had many offers and confirmed that they included Premier League clubs. “Yes, I had offers, yes, of course,” he said, “but at the moment, I have not said anything to anybody. I came out of a long process and you cannot just the next morning go somewhere else. It’s impossible.” But could he manage against Arsenal? “I’m not ready for that at the moment,” Wenger said. “That would be very difficult, I’d stay at home that day. Maybe, I don’t envisage that at the moment. Maybe it’s better I go somewhere else.” He suggested that Arsenal are only “some additions” away from competing for the Premier League title. Although that may not only depend on how many is “some” but who manages them, one player who will be crucial to the future is surely Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arsene Wenger waves to the fans before the match Credit: Reuters Wenger’s final signing, if it was his decision, and most expensive ever signing scored the only goal, and it means he has struck 10 times in just 13 league games since he arrived in January for £56 million. The goal was also one that will have delighted Wenger as it was constructed through a slick passing move involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette, with the latter sliding the ball through to Aaron Ramsey who prodded it across goal for Aubameyang to force home. Arsene Wenger's replacement at Arsenal That was tough on Huddersfield who should have scored through Steve Mounie, with a header, and Tom Ince, who ballooned over, but it did not detract from the celebratory atmosphere. However, there may be a pang of alarm from their supporters in the non-committal way manager David Wagner later spoke about his own future, having kept the club up against the odds. Fans hold up a Arsene Wenger banner Credit: Getty Club owner Dean Hoyle had taken to the pitch at half-time to suggest Wagner would stay, but the German later said simply that the chairman was putting “pressure” on himself with that declaration.

The 68-year-old has already divulged he has had many offers and confirmed that they included Premier League clubs. “Yes, I had offers, yes, of course,” he said, “but at the moment, I have not said anything to anybody. I came out of a long process and you cannot just the next morning go somewhere else. It’s impossible.” But could he manage against Arsenal? “I’m not ready for that at the moment,” Wenger said. “That would be very difficult, I’d stay at home that day. Maybe, I don’t envisage that at the moment. Maybe it’s better I go somewhere else.” He suggested that Arsenal are only “some additions” away from competing for the Premier League title. Although that may not only depend on how many is “some” but who manages them, one player who will be crucial to the future is surely Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

What time is kick-off? It's a 3pm BST start. What TV channel is it on? It's not, unfortunately. Despite being Wenger's final game in charge of Arsenal, Sky Sports have opted to show the games at Liverpool and Newcastle instead. Arsenal fans wave farewell to Arsene Wenger at the Emirates - in pictures What is the team news? Huddersfield Town Huddersfield boss David Wagner will select from an unchanged squad for his side's last Premier League game of the season at home against Arsenal. Wagner has no new injuries following Wednesday night's draw at Chelsea, which secured them another season in the top flight. Tom Ince is hoping to feature after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Michael Hefele (knee), Elias Kachunga and Danny Williams (both ankle) remain sidelined. Provisional squad: Lossl, Kongolo, Schindler, Jorgensen, Hadergjonaj, Hogg, Mooy, Van La Parra, Pritchard, Ince, Quaner, Mounie, Malone, Depoitre, Billing, Coleman, Lowe, Smith. Arsenal Arsenal will be without the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos for Arsene Wenger's final game as manager when the Gunners travel to Huddersfield on the last day of the Premier League season. The young defender was shown a straight red card in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Leicester and will be forced to sit out the game in West Yorkshire having started the Gunners' last three league matches. Mesut Ozil (back), Mohamed Elneny (ankle), Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla (both Achilles) are also missing but the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Jack Wilshere could return after sitting out in midweek. Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Nelson, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Willock, Wilshere, Ramsey, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck, Lacazette, Nketiah, Aubameyang. What are they saying? David Wagner on Arsene Wenger "I can't imagine that this can happen again, so this only shows he has done something extraordinary," Wagner said. "Words don't describe enough how big this achievement is which he has done for his football club and football in this country. "I'm so happy that we are able to host him in his last Premier League game after 22 years, that we are able to host him in these circumstances, we really can give him all the honour and all the attention he deserves. "This is possible after our last result on Wednesday and we as a football club will do it. We have the biggest respect for what he has done and we're happy we play our last game against him." Best-priced accumulators | New customer offers Wenger on the Emirates "We had to do it," he said, when asked if he would take back the stadium move in exchange for trophies. "There is no club that can turn people who wanted to attend the game down. At the time I thought we were a bit too ambitious with 60,000 (capacity) but at the end of the day it worked," he said. "It's not really happened because other clubs have used outside resources. We had a double handicap. We had to pay back the debt and had to face the competition where clubs have even more resources than they usually have. "I believe Highbury had a special spirit. It's a cathedral, a church. You could smell the soul of every guy that played there. So it was special. It will always be special for me. "The Emirates for me was like buying a new house. It took us a while to feel at home there. It's a fantastic stadium - but there was something special at Highbury that you could never recreate when you build something new. What are the odds? Huddersfield 19/4 Arsenal - 4/7 Draw - 18/5 What's our prediction? Jason Burt: There is nothing riding on Arsene Wenger’s last match in charge of Arsenal except for one thing – can he really end the season as the only manager in English football not to gain any points away from home in 2018? Surely the Arsenal players will not let that happen while Huddersfield, safe from relegation, may still be on that party bus. Prediction: 1-3

Arsene Wenger signs off saying he 'had disagreements' with the fans: 'But we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal FC'

To the end, there was dignity and, to use one of his favourite words, , humanity to Arsene Wenger as he bowed out,quite literally, as Arsenal manager after 22 years, 1,235 games and this, his 707th victory. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although that was never a scoreline he cherished or that was associated with him. There was sentimentality, too – and why not as Wenger spoke of the appropriateness of Huddersfield Town being his final opponent in what otherwise was an inconsequential fixture? “Herbert Chapman, maybe our greatest manager, came from here,” Wenger said. “For me to come here on the last day had a special meaning when you know the history of our club. In fact, there was a photo just in front of the dressing room where Chapman smiled at me because he was on the photo.” Chapman smiling down on Wenger is certainly some romantic image, one that resonates powerfully for all Arsenal fans. Chapman was Huddersfield’s greatest manager, in their golden period in the 1920s when they won league titles, with three stars adorning their shirts, and were such a force in English football that he was poached by Arsenal and transformed them too. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 Chapman revolutionised the role of the manager, making him more powerful in an era when decisions were made by committee. Privately, Wenger might ruefully consider the wheel is turning full circle away from his profession, given the nature of his departure, as he first walked past the bust of Chapman at the entrance to the John Smith Stadium, then the photograph before he took to the pitch to be met by a guard of honour. Before kick-off, Wenger strode towards the travelling Arsenal supporters and bowed to them, later saying it was a spontaneous act of appreciation. “We had disagreements, which I accept, but we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal Football Club, and I wanted to share that with them,” he said. Thanks for the 22 years Credit: PA Wenger went to the away dug-out an hour before the game to get some “oxygen”. “It’s difficult to understand when you don’t know how deep the love is for the game [in England],” Wenger said. “It was a fantastic experience for me. Where do I go from there? That’s the difficulty. When you’ve experienced this intensity for such a long time, I don’t know where I go. I’ll remain a fan wherever I go.” Wenger will now look forward to the next phase of his career and his life. The 68-year-old has already divulged he has had many offers and confirmed that they included Premier League clubs. “Yes, I had offers, yes, of course,” he said, “but at the moment, I have not said anything to anybody. I came out of a long process and you cannot just the next morning go somewhere else. It’s impossible.” But could he manage against Arsenal? “I’m not ready for that at the moment,” Wenger said. “That would be very difficult, I’d stay at home that day. Maybe, I don’t envisage that at the moment. Maybe it’s better I go somewhere else.” He suggested that Arsenal are only “some additions” away from competing for the Premier League title. Although that may not only depend on how many is “some” but who manages them, one player who will be crucial to the future is surely Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

What time is kick-off? It's a 3pm BST start. What TV channel is it on? It's not, unfortunately. Despite being Wenger's final game in charge of Arsenal, Sky Sports have opted to show the games at Liverpool and Newcastle instead. Arsenal fans wave farewell to Arsene Wenger at the Emirates - in pictures What is the team news? Huddersfield Town Huddersfield boss David Wagner will select from an unchanged squad for his side's last Premier League game of the season at home against Arsenal. Wagner has no new injuries following Wednesday night's draw at Chelsea, which secured them another season in the top flight. Tom Ince is hoping to feature after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Michael Hefele (knee), Elias Kachunga and Danny Williams (both ankle) remain sidelined. Provisional squad: Lossl, Kongolo, Schindler, Jorgensen, Hadergjonaj, Hogg, Mooy, Van La Parra, Pritchard, Ince, Quaner, Mounie, Malone, Depoitre, Billing, Coleman, Lowe, Smith. Arsenal Arsenal will be without the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos for Arsene Wenger's final game as manager when the Gunners travel to Huddersfield on the last day of the Premier League season. The young defender was shown a straight red card in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Leicester and will be forced to sit out the game in West Yorkshire having started the Gunners' last three league matches. Mesut Ozil (back), Mohamed Elneny (ankle), Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla (both Achilles) are also missing but the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Jack Wilshere could return after sitting out in midweek. Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Nelson, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Willock, Wilshere, Ramsey, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck, Lacazette, Nketiah, Aubameyang. What are they saying? David Wagner on Arsene Wenger "I can't imagine that this can happen again, so this only shows he has done something extraordinary," Wagner said. "Words don't describe enough how big this achievement is which he has done for his football club and football in this country. "I'm so happy that we are able to host him in his last Premier League game after 22 years, that we are able to host him in these circumstances, we really can give him all the honour and all the attention he deserves. "This is possible after our last result on Wednesday and we as a football club will do it. We have the biggest respect for what he has done and we're happy we play our last game against him." Best-priced accumulators | New customer offers Wenger on the Emirates "We had to do it," he said, when asked if he would take back the stadium move in exchange for trophies. "There is no club that can turn people who wanted to attend the game down. At the time I thought we were a bit too ambitious with 60,000 (capacity) but at the end of the day it worked," he said. "It's not really happened because other clubs have used outside resources. We had a double handicap. We had to pay back the debt and had to face the competition where clubs have even more resources than they usually have. "I believe Highbury had a special spirit. It's a cathedral, a church. You could smell the soul of every guy that played there. So it was special. It will always be special for me. "The Emirates for me was like buying a new house. It took us a while to feel at home there. It's a fantastic stadium - but there was something special at Highbury that you could never recreate when you build something new. What are the odds? Huddersfield 19/4 Arsenal - 4/7 Draw - 18/5 What's our prediction? Jason Burt: There is nothing riding on Arsene Wenger’s last match in charge of Arsenal except for one thing – can he really end the season as the only manager in English football not to gain any points away from home in 2018? Surely the Arsenal players will not let that happen while Huddersfield, safe from relegation, may still be on that party bus. Prediction: 1-3

And so it is, finally, “au revoir” Arsene. Arsenal ended Arsene Wenger’s 1,235thand final match as the club’s manager with his 707st and final win bringing to a close his remarkable 22 years at the club. The only goal was scored by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Wenger’s last signing – or was it wholly his signing? – and at £56million in the January window the most expensive he ever made. The result meant that Arsenal did not suffer the ignominy of being the only team in the top four tiers of English football not to win a league point in 2018. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 After seven successive Premier League defeats they won. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although Wenger transformed them – in his pomp – into a much more free-flowing and brilliant football team which they will desperately hope to be again under his successor. Their sixth place finish is their lowest under the 68-year-old Frenchman and change is needed. It is “au revoir” of course and not goodbye as Wenger plans to work again, maybe even in the Premier League, and he will hope to be seen again in a dug-out in England. Wenger was afforded a guard of honour and a raucous reception before kick-off and peeled away to bow in front of the visiting Arsenal fans before trotting back to the away dug-out. On the roof of that dug-out there was a message - “Au revoir, Arsene et merci” – while Huddersfield paid their respects in words and images with Wenger’s face on the cover of the match programme. Arsene Wenger waves to the fans before the match Credit: Reuters It helped that Huddersfield were in celebratory mood having sealed their Premier League status with the mid-week draw away to Chelsea which, in terms of result, largely rendered the outcome of this game meaningless. Maybe that, also, was an appropriate final game for Wenger’s brilliant yet flawed reign. It would not end with a Europa League Final in Lyon against Marseille, his old nemesis, but here at Huddersfield. This game was not even televised. But there was also something else appropriate, and more fitting, with it being Huddersfield. Theirs is a history linked with Arsenal’s most celebrated manager before Wenger, Herbert Chapman, who won two leagues titles and an FA Cup for each club, of course. Soon after Steve Mounie spurned the first chance, planting a header too close to goalkeeper David Ospina – playing because Petr Cech had a minor injury – two planes circled the John Smith Stadium with banners thanking Wenger. How times had changed. The Arsenal fans sang: “He’s won more than you, Arsene Wenger, he’s won more than you” which provoked a response from the home supporters: "You wanted him out, you wanted him out... you two-faced b-------, you wanted him out." It continued to be Huddersfield who threatened and Tom Ince should have put them in front when he collected Alex Pritchard’s low cross, took a touch but then blazed his shot wastefully over the cross-bar. On 22 minutes, as planned, the crowd rose to give Wenger’s a minute’s applause to mark his 22 years as the Arsenal manager. Arsenal finally went close when Sead Kolasinac stabbed the ball wide from a flicked on corner. He was unmarked. But at least they had finally showed some intent and that was emphasised when they took the lead, before half-time, following a slick passing move. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette combined with the latter sliding the ball through to Aaron Ramsey who prodded it across goal for Aubameyang to force home at close-range for his 10thleague goal since joining the club in January. That was tough on Huddersfield who had appeared the more ambitious side and they almost drew level when Pritchard again provided for Ince, with a reverse pass, and his low shot across goal was heading for the far corner of the goal until Ospina tipped it away. #classy #nicetouch Credit: Reuters The pressure grew on Arsenal. Corner after corner was won by Huddersfield but they struggled to create any clear opportunities. Arsenal fashioned their own, though, when Lacazette was put clear only for the striker to dink his shot, from Mkhitaryan’s pass, into the arms of goalkeeper Jonas Lossl who had rushed out. Lossl did even better to then deny substitute Danny Welbeck after he rode a challenge and shot low. The goalkeeper blocked with legs. Huddersfield brought on Dean Whitehead, the 36-year-old midfielder who is retiring at the end of this season, as it turned into a celebration again although they came close to drawing level as Aaron Mooy clipped the top of the cross-bar with a cross-shot from Florent Hadergjonaj’s cushioned pass. In injury-time Huddersfield had one last chance as substitute Laurent Depoitre met a free-kick but he did not gain enough power and Ospina gathered and Wenger had his win as he quickly exited, straight down the tunnel as home fans invaded the pitch. 4:58PM Farewell, then, Arsene Wenger You were a brilliant manager and a good person.

It's the final game of the season for Huddersfield and Arsenal and, more significantly, the last in Arsene Wenger's 22-reign as Arsenal manager. When is it? It's on Sunday May 13 - ie today. What time is kick-off? It's a 3pm BST start. What TV channel is it on? It's not, unfortunately. Despite being Wenger's final game in charge of Arsenal, Sky Sports have opted to show the games at Liverpool and Newcastle instead. Arsenal fans wave farewell to Arsene Wenger at the Emirates - in pictures What is the team news? Huddersfield Town Huddersfield boss David Wagner will select from an unchanged squad for his side's last Premier League game of the season at home against Arsenal. Wagner has no new injuries following Wednesday night's draw at Chelsea, which secured them another season in the top flight. Tom Ince is hoping to feature after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Michael Hefele (knee), Elias Kachunga and Danny Williams (both ankle) remain sidelined. Provisional squad: Lossl, Kongolo, Schindler, Jorgensen, Hadergjonaj, Hogg, Mooy, Van La Parra, Pritchard, Ince, Quaner, Mounie, Malone, Depoitre, Billing, Coleman, Lowe, Smith. Arsenal Arsenal will be without the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos for Arsene Wenger's final game as manager when the Gunners travel to Huddersfield on the last day of the Premier League season. The young defender was shown a straight red card in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Leicester and will be forced to sit out the game in West Yorkshire having started the Gunners' last three league matches. Mesut Ozil (back), Mohamed Elneny (ankle), Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla (both Achilles) are also missing but the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Jack Wilshere could return after sitting out in midweek. Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Nelson, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Willock, Wilshere, Ramsey, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck, Lacazette, Nketiah, Aubameyang. What are they saying? David Wagner on Arsene Wenger "I can't imagine that this can happen again, so this only shows he has done something extraordinary," Wagner said. "Words don't describe enough how big this achievement is which he has done for his football club and football in this country. "I'm so happy that we are able to host him in his last Premier League game after 22 years, that we are able to host him in these circumstances, we really can give him all the honour and all the attention he deserves. "This is possible after our last result on Wednesday and we as a football club will do it. We have the biggest respect for what he has done and we're happy we play our last game against him." Best-priced accumulators | New customer offers Wenger on the Emirates "We had to do it," he said, when asked if he would take back the stadium move in exchange for trophies. "There is no club that can turn people who wanted to attend the game down. At the time I thought we were a bit too ambitious with 60,000 (capacity) but at the end of the day it worked," he said. "It's not really happened because other clubs have used outside resources. We had a double handicap. We had to pay back the debt and had to face the competition where clubs have even more resources than they usually have. "I believe Highbury had a special spirit. It's a cathedral, a church. You could smell the soul of every guy that played there. So it was special. It will always be special for me. "The Emirates for me was like buying a new house. It took us a while to feel at home there. It's a fantastic stadium - but there was something special at Highbury that you could never recreate when you build something new. What are the odds? Huddersfield 19/4 Arsenal - 4/7 Draw - 18/5 What's our prediction? Jason Burt: There is nothing riding on Arsene Wenger’s last match in charge of Arsenal except for one thing – can he really end the season as the only manager in English football not to gain any points away from home in 2018? Surely the Arsenal players will not let that happen while Huddersfield, safe from relegation, may still be on that party bus. Prediction: 1-3

Arsene Wenger signs off saying he 'had disagreements' with the fans: 'But we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal FC'

To the end, there was dignity and, to use one of his favourite words, , humanity to Arsene Wenger as he bowed out,quite literally, as Arsenal manager after 22 years, 1,235 games and this, his 707th victory. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although that was never a scoreline he cherished or that was associated with him. There was sentimentality, too – and why not as Wenger spoke of the appropriateness of Huddersfield Town being his final opponent in what otherwise was an inconsequential fixture? “Herbert Chapman, maybe our greatest manager, came from here,” Wenger said. “For me to come here on the last day had a special meaning when you know the history of our club. In fact, there was a photo just in front of the dressing room where Chapman smiled at me because he was on the photo.” Chapman smiling down on Wenger is certainly some romantic image, one that resonates powerfully for all Arsenal fans. Chapman was Huddersfield’s greatest manager, in their golden period in the 1920s when they won league titles, with three stars adorning their shirts, and were such a force in English football that he was poached by Arsenal and transformed them too. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 Chapman revolutionised the role of the manager, making him more powerful in an era when decisions were made by committee. Privately, Wenger might ruefully consider the wheel is turning full circle away from his profession, given the nature of his departure, as he first walked past the bust of Chapman at the entrance to the John Smith Stadium, then the photograph before he took to the pitch to be met by a guard of honour. Before kick-off, Wenger strode towards the travelling Arsenal supporters and bowed to them, later saying it was a spontaneous act of appreciation. “We had disagreements, which I accept, but we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal Football Club, and I wanted to share that with them,” he said. Thanks for the 22 years Credit: PA Wenger went to the away dug-out an hour before the game to get some “oxygen”. “It’s difficult to understand when you don’t know how deep the love is for the game [in England],” Wenger said. “It was a fantastic experience for me. Where do I go from there? That’s the difficulty. When you’ve experienced this intensity for such a long time, I don’t know where I go. I’ll remain a fan wherever I go.” Wenger will now look forward to the next phase of his career and his life. The 68-year-old has already divulged he has had many offers and confirmed that they included Premier League clubs. “Yes, I had offers, yes, of course,” he said, “but at the moment, I have not said anything to anybody. I came out of a long process and you cannot just the next morning go somewhere else. It’s impossible.” But could he manage against Arsenal? “I’m not ready for that at the moment,” Wenger said. “That would be very difficult, I’d stay at home that day. Maybe, I don’t envisage that at the moment. Maybe it’s better I go somewhere else.” He suggested that Arsenal are only “some additions” away from competing for the Premier League title. Although that may not only depend on how many is “some” but who manages them, one player who will be crucial to the future is surely Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arsene Wenger waves to the fans before the match Credit: Reuters Wenger’s final signing, if it was his decision, and most expensive ever signing scored the only goal, and it means he has struck 10 times in just 13 league games since he arrived in January for £56 million. The goal was also one that will have delighted Wenger as it was constructed through a slick passing move involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette, with the latter sliding the ball through to Aaron Ramsey who prodded it across goal for Aubameyang to force home. Arsene Wenger's replacement at Arsenal That was tough on Huddersfield who should have scored through Steve Mounie, with a header, and Tom Ince, who ballooned over, but it did not detract from the celebratory atmosphere. However, there may be a pang of alarm from their supporters in the non-committal way manager David Wagner later spoke about his own future, having kept the club up against the odds. Fans hold up a Arsene Wenger banner Credit: Getty Club owner Dean Hoyle had taken to the pitch at half-time to suggest Wagner would stay, but the German later said simply that the chairman was putting “pressure” on himself with that declaration.

Matt Macey is the goalie on the bench. 4:10PM 52 mins Mounie attempts a bicycle kick. It is not a success.

Arsenal Arsenal will be without the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos for Arsene Wenger's final game as manager when the Gunners travel to Huddersfield on the last day of the Premier League season. The young defender was shown a straight red card in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Leicester and will be forced to sit out the game in West Yorkshire having started the Gunners' last three league matches. Mesut Ozil (back), Mohamed Elneny (ankle), Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla (both Achilles) are also missing but the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Jack Wilshere could return after sitting out in midweek.

What are they saying? David Wagner on Arsene Wenger "I can't imagine that this can happen again, so this only shows he has done something extraordinary," Wagner said. "Words don't describe enough how big this achievement is which he has done for his football club and football in this country. "I'm so happy that we are able to host him in his last Premier League game after 22 years, that we are able to host him in these circumstances, we really can give him all the honour and all the attention he deserves. "This is possible after our last result on Wednesday and we as a football club will do it. We have the biggest respect for what he has done and we're happy we play our last game against him." Best-priced accumulators | New customer offers Wenger on the Emirates "We had to do it," he said, when asked if he would take back the stadium move in exchange for trophies. "There is no club that can turn people who wanted to attend the game down. At the time I thought we were a bit too ambitious with 60,000 (capacity) but at the end of the day it worked," he said. "It's not really happened because other clubs have used outside resources. We had a double handicap. We had to pay back the debt and had to face the competition where clubs have even more resources than they usually have. "I believe Highbury had a special spirit. It's a cathedral, a church. You could smell the soul of every guy that played there. So it was special. It will always be special for me. "The Emirates for me was like buying a new house. It took us a while to feel at home there. It's a fantastic stadium - but there was something special at Highbury that you could never recreate when you build something new. What are the odds? Huddersfield 19/4 Arsenal - 4/7 Draw - 18/5 What's our prediction? Jason Burt: There is nothing riding on Arsene Wenger’s last match in charge of Arsenal except for one thing – can he really end the season as the only manager in English football not to gain any points away from home in 2018? Surely the Arsenal players will not let that happen while Huddersfield, safe from relegation, may still be on that party bus. Prediction: 1-3

Arsene Wenger signs off saying he 'had disagreements' with the fans: 'But we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal FC'

To the end, there was dignity and, to use one of his favourite words, , humanity to Arsene Wenger as he bowed out,quite literally, as Arsenal manager after 22 years, 1,235 games and this, his 707th victory. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although that was never a scoreline he cherished or that was associated with him. There was sentimentality, too – and why not as Wenger spoke of the appropriateness of Huddersfield Town being his final opponent in what otherwise was an inconsequential fixture? “Herbert Chapman, maybe our greatest manager, came from here,” Wenger said. “For me to come here on the last day had a special meaning when you know the history of our club. In fact, there was a photo just in front of the dressing room where Chapman smiled at me because he was on the photo.” Chapman smiling down on Wenger is certainly some romantic image, one that resonates powerfully for all Arsenal fans. Chapman was Huddersfield’s greatest manager, in their golden period in the 1920s when they won league titles, with three stars adorning their shirts, and were such a force in English football that he was poached by Arsenal and transformed them too. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 Chapman revolutionised the role of the manager, making him more powerful in an era when decisions were made by committee. Privately, Wenger might ruefully consider the wheel is turning full circle away from his profession, given the nature of his departure, as he first walked past the bust of Chapman at the entrance to the John Smith Stadium, then the photograph before he took to the pitch to be met by a guard of honour. Before kick-off, Wenger strode towards the travelling Arsenal supporters and bowed to them, later saying it was a spontaneous act of appreciation. “We had disagreements, which I accept, but we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal Football Club, and I wanted to share that with them,” he said. Thanks for the 22 years Credit: PA Wenger went to the away dug-out an hour before the game to get some “oxygen”. “It’s difficult to understand when you don’t know how deep the love is for the game [in England],” Wenger said. “It was a fantastic experience for me. Where do I go from there? That’s the difficulty. When you’ve experienced this intensity for such a long time, I don’t know where I go. I’ll remain a fan wherever I go.” Wenger will now look forward to the next phase of his career and his life. The 68-year-old has already divulged he has had many offers and confirmed that they included Premier League clubs. “Yes, I had offers, yes, of course,” he said, “but at the moment, I have not said anything to anybody. I came out of a long process and you cannot just the next morning go somewhere else. It’s impossible.” But could he manage against Arsenal? “I’m not ready for that at the moment,” Wenger said. “That would be very difficult, I’d stay at home that day. Maybe, I don’t envisage that at the moment. Maybe it’s better I go somewhere else.” He suggested that Arsenal are only “some additions” away from competing for the Premier League title. Although that may not only depend on how many is “some” but who manages them, one player who will be crucial to the future is surely Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arsene Wenger waves to the fans before the match Credit: Reuters Wenger’s final signing, if it was his decision, and most expensive ever signing scored the only goal, and it means he has struck 10 times in just 13 league games since he arrived in January for £56 million. The goal was also one that will have delighted Wenger as it was constructed through a slick passing move involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette, with the latter sliding the ball through to Aaron Ramsey who prodded it across goal for Aubameyang to force home. Arsene Wenger's replacement at Arsenal That was tough on Huddersfield who should have scored through Steve Mounie, with a header, and Tom Ince, who ballooned over, but it did not detract from the celebratory atmosphere. However, there may be a pang of alarm from their supporters in the non-committal way manager David Wagner later spoke about his own future, having kept the club up against the odds. Fans hold up a Arsene Wenger banner Credit: Getty Club owner Dean Hoyle had taken to the pitch at half-time to suggest Wagner would stay, but the German later said simply that the chairman was putting “pressure” on himself with that declaration.

Easy grab in the end. 4:36PM 77 mins A corner into the box and that man Mounie has yet again got above his opponents. Cannot get the header on target.

Sead Kolasinac , for some reason, decides he's going to try and beat the whole team. Chopped down on the edge of the area by Mathias Jorgensen. 3:18PM 14 mins Ince again! Another shot, this one wide. Arsenal haven't turned up at all and a team with better strikers than Huddersfield would be up by now. 3:15PM Plane speaking An airplane flies over the stadium with a message to Arsene Wenger Credit: Getty 3:14PM 10 mins Unless his spineless team wake up, old Mr W is going to be signing off with a defeat. They're getting opened up with ease here. Alex Pritchard gallopes onto a long ball. He clips it back for Ince, who should have done a lot better from 10 or so yards out.

Jason Burt: There is nothing riding on Arsene Wenger’s last match in charge of Arsenal except for one thing – can he really end the season as the only manager in English football not to gain any points away from home in 2018? Surely the Arsenal players will not let that happen while Huddersfield, safe from relegation, may still be on that party bus. Prediction: 1-3

And so it is, finally, “au revoir” Arsene. Arsenal ended Arsene Wenger’s 1,235th and final match as the club’s manager with his 707th and final win bringing to a close his remarkable 22 years at the club. The only goal was scored by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Wenger’s last signing – or was it wholly his signing? – and at £56million in the January window the most expensive he ever made. The result meant that Arsenal did not suffer the ignominy of being the only team in the top four tiers of English football not to win a league point in 2018. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 After seven successive Premier League defeats they won. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although Wenger transformed them – in his pomp – into a much more free-flowing and brilliant football team which they will desperately hope to be again under his successor. Their sixth place finish is their lowest under the 68-year-old Frenchman and change is needed. Thanks for the 22 years Credit: PA It is “au revoir” of course and not goodbye as Wenger plans to work again, maybe even in the Premier League, and he will hope to be seen again in a dug-out in England. Wenger was afforded a guard of honour and a raucous reception before kick-off and peeled away to bow in front of the visiting Arsenal fans before trotting back to the away dug-out. On the roof of that dug-out there was a message - “Au revoir, Arsene et merci” – while Huddersfield paid their respects in words and images with Wenger’s face on the cover of the match programme. Arsene Wenger waves to the fans before the match Credit: Reuters It helped that Huddersfield were in celebratory mood having sealed their Premier League status with the mid-week draw away to Chelsea which, in terms of result, largely rendered the outcome of this game meaningless. Maybe that, also, was an appropriate final game for Wenger’s brilliant yet flawed reign. It would not end with a Europa League Final in Lyon against Marseille, his old nemesis, but here at Huddersfield. This game was not even televised. Arsene Wenger's replacement at Arsenal But there was also something else appropriate, and more fitting, with it being Huddersfield. Theirs is a history linked with Arsenal’s most celebrated manager before Wenger, Herbert Chapman, who won two leagues titles and an FA Cup for each club, of course. Fans hold up a Arsene Wenger banner Credit: Getty Soon after Steve Mounie spurned the first chance, planting a header too close to goalkeeper David Ospina – playing because Petr Cech had a minor injury – two planes circled the John Smith Stadium with banners thanking Wenger. How times had changed. The Arsenal fans sang: “He’s won more than you, Arsene Wenger, he’s won more than you” which provoked a response from the home supporters: "You wanted him out, you wanted him out... you two-faced b-------, you wanted him out."

On 22 minutes, as planned, the crowd rose to give Wenger’s a minute’s applause to mark his 22 years as the Arsenal manager. Arsenal in a league of their own... pic.twitter.com/o0oP3Xxfbj— Charlie Eccleshare (@CDEccleshare) May 13, 2018 Arsenal finally went close when Sead Kolasinac stabbed the ball wide from a flicked on corner. He was unmarked. But at least they had finally showed some intent and that was emphasised when they took the lead, before half-time, following a slick passing move. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette combined with the latter sliding the ball through to Aaron Ramsey who prodded it across goal for Aubameyang to force home at close-range for his 10thleague goal since joining the club in January. That was tough on Huddersfield who had appeared the more ambitious side and they almost drew level when Pritchard again provided for Ince, with a reverse pass, and his low shot across goal was heading for the far corner of the goal until Ospina tipped it away. #classy #nicetouch Credit: Reuters The pressure grew on Arsenal. Corner after corner was won by Huddersfield but they struggled to create any clear opportunities. Arsenal fashioned their own, though, when Lacazette was put clear only for the striker to dink his shot, from Mkhitaryan’s pass, into the arms of goalkeeper Jonas Lossl who had rushed out. Lossl did even better to then deny substitute Danny Welbeck after he rode a challenge and shot low. The goalkeeper blocked with legs. Plane truth: a banner for Arsene Credit: Getty Huddersfield brought on Dean Whitehead, the 36-year-old midfielder who is retiring at the end of this season, as it turned into a celebration again although they came close to drawing level as Aaron Mooy clipped the top of the cross-bar with a cross-shot from Florent Hadergjonaj’s cushioned pass. In injury-time Huddersfield had one last chance as substitute Laurent Depoitre met a free-kick but he did not gain enough power and Ospina gathered and Wenger had his win as he quickly exited, straight down the tunnel as home fans invaded the pitch. 4:58PM Farewell, then, Arsene Wenger You were a brilliant manager and a good person.

Huddersfield Town Huddersfield boss David Wagner will select from an unchanged squad for his side's last Premier League game of the season at home against Arsenal. Wagner has no new injuries following Wednesday night's draw at Chelsea, which secured them another season in the top flight. Tom Ince is hoping to feature after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Michael Hefele (knee), Elias Kachunga and Danny Williams (both ankle) remain sidelined.

Arsenal Arsenal will be without the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos for Arsene Wenger's final game as manager when the Gunners travel to Huddersfield on the last day of the Premier League season. The young defender was shown a straight red card in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Leicester and will be forced to sit out the game in West Yorkshire having started the Gunners' last three league matches. Mesut Ozil (back), Mohamed Elneny (ankle), Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla (both Achilles) are also missing but the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Jack Wilshere could return after sitting out in midweek. Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Nelson, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Willock, Wilshere, Ramsey, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck, Lacazette, Nketiah, Aubameyang. What are they saying? David Wagner on Arsene Wenger "I can't imagine that this can happen again, so this only shows he has done something extraordinary," Wagner said. "Words don't describe enough how big this achievement is which he has done for his football club and football in this country. "I'm so happy that we are able to host him in his last Premier League game after 22 years, that we are able to host him in these circumstances, we really can give him all the honour and all the attention he deserves. "This is possible after our last result on Wednesday and we as a football club will do it. We have the biggest respect for what he has done and we're happy we play our last game against him." Best-priced accumulators | New customer offers Wenger on the Emirates "We had to do it," he said, when asked if he would take back the stadium move in exchange for trophies. "There is no club that can turn people who wanted to attend the game down. At the time I thought we were a bit too ambitious with 60,000 (capacity) but at the end of the day it worked," he said. "It's not really happened because other clubs have used outside resources. We had a double handicap. We had to pay back the debt and had to face the competition where clubs have even more resources than they usually have. "I believe Highbury had a special spirit. It's a cathedral, a church. You could smell the soul of every guy that played there. So it was special. It will always be special for me. "The Emirates for me was like buying a new house. It took us a while to feel at home there. It's a fantastic stadium - but there was something special at Highbury that you could never recreate when you build something new. What are the odds? Huddersfield 19/4 Arsenal - 4/7 Draw - 18/5 What's our prediction? Jason Burt: There is nothing riding on Arsene Wenger’s last match in charge of Arsenal except for one thing – can he really end the season as the only manager in English football not to gain any points away from home in 2018? Surely the Arsenal players will not let that happen while Huddersfield, safe from relegation, may still be on that party bus. Prediction: 1-3

Arsene Wenger signs off saying he 'had disagreements' with the fans: 'But we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal FC'

To the end, there was dignity and, to use one of his favourite words, , humanity to Arsene Wenger as he bowed out,quite literally, as Arsenal manager after 22 years, 1,235 games and this, his 707th victory. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although that was never a scoreline he cherished or that was associated with him. There was sentimentality, too – and why not as Wenger spoke of the appropriateness of Huddersfield Town being his final opponent in what otherwise was an inconsequential fixture? “Herbert Chapman, maybe our greatest manager, came from here,” Wenger said. “For me to come here on the last day had a special meaning when you know the history of our club. In fact, there was a photo just in front of the dressing room where Chapman smiled at me because he was on the photo.” Chapman smiling down on Wenger is certainly some romantic image, one that resonates powerfully for all Arsenal fans. Chapman was Huddersfield’s greatest manager, in their golden period in the 1920s when they won league titles, with three stars adorning their shirts, and were such a force in English football that he was poached by Arsenal and transformed them too. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 Chapman revolutionised the role of the manager, making him more powerful in an era when decisions were made by committee. Privately, Wenger might ruefully consider the wheel is turning full circle away from his profession, given the nature of his departure, as he first walked past the bust of Chapman at the entrance to the John Smith Stadium, then the photograph before he took to the pitch to be met by a guard of honour. Before kick-off, Wenger strode towards the travelling Arsenal supporters and bowed to them, later saying it was a spontaneous act of appreciation. “We had disagreements, which I accept, but we had one thing in common: we loved Arsenal Football Club, and I wanted to share that with them,” he said. Thanks for the 22 years Credit: PA Wenger went to the away dug-out an hour before the game to get some “oxygen”. “It’s difficult to understand when you don’t know how deep the love is for the game [in England],” Wenger said. “It was a fantastic experience for me. Where do I go from there? That’s the difficulty. When you’ve experienced this intensity for such a long time, I don’t know where I go. I’ll remain a fan wherever I go.” Wenger will now look forward to the next phase of his career and his life. The 68-year-old has already divulged he has had many offers and confirmed that they included Premier League clubs. “Yes, I had offers, yes, of course,” he said, “but at the moment, I have not said anything to anybody. I came out of a long process and you cannot just the next morning go somewhere else. It’s impossible.” But could he manage against Arsenal? “I’m not ready for that at the moment,” Wenger said. “That would be very difficult, I’d stay at home that day. Maybe, I don’t envisage that at the moment. Maybe it’s better I go somewhere else.” He suggested that Arsenal are only “some additions” away from competing for the Premier League title. Although that may not only depend on how many is “some” but who manages them, one player who will be crucial to the future is surely Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arsene Wenger waves to the fans before the match Credit: Reuters Wenger’s final signing, if it was his decision, and most expensive ever signing scored the only goal, and it means he has struck 10 times in just 13 league games since he arrived in January for £56 million. The goal was also one that will have delighted Wenger as it was constructed through a slick passing move involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette, with the latter sliding the ball through to Aaron Ramsey who prodded it across goal for Aubameyang to force home. Arsene Wenger's replacement at Arsenal That was tough on Huddersfield who should have scored through Steve Mounie, with a header, and Tom Ince, who ballooned over, but it did not detract from the celebratory atmosphere.

What time is kick-off? It's a 3pm BST start. What TV channel is it on? It's not, unfortunately. Despite being Wenger's final game in charge of Arsenal, Sky Sports have opted to show the games at Liverpool and Newcastle instead. Arsenal fans wave farewell to Arsene Wenger at the Emirates - in pictures What is the team news? Huddersfield Town Huddersfield boss David Wagner will select from an unchanged squad for his side's last Premier League game of the season at home against Arsenal. Wagner has no new injuries following Wednesday night's draw at Chelsea, which secured them another season in the top flight. Tom Ince is hoping to feature after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Michael Hefele (knee), Elias Kachunga and Danny Williams (both ankle) remain sidelined. Provisional squad: Lossl, Kongolo, Schindler, Jorgensen, Hadergjonaj, Hogg, Mooy, Van La Parra, Pritchard, Ince, Quaner, Mounie, Malone, Depoitre, Billing, Coleman, Lowe, Smith. Arsenal Arsenal will be without the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos for Arsene Wenger's final game as manager when the Gunners travel to Huddersfield on the last day of the Premier League season. The young defender was shown a straight red card in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Leicester and will be forced to sit out the game in West Yorkshire having started the Gunners' last three league matches. Mesut Ozil (back), Mohamed Elneny (ankle), Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla (both Achilles) are also missing but the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Jack Wilshere could return after sitting out in midweek. Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Nelson, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Willock, Wilshere, Ramsey, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck, Lacazette, Nketiah, Aubameyang. What are they saying? David Wagner on Arsene Wenger "I can't imagine that this can happen again, so this only shows he has done something extraordinary," Wagner said. "Words don't describe enough how big this achievement is which he has done for his football club and football in this country. "I'm so happy that we are able to host him in his last Premier League game after 22 years, that we are able to host him in these circumstances, we really can give him all the honour and all the attention he deserves. "This is possible after our last result on Wednesday and we as a football club will do it. We have the biggest respect for what he has done and we're happy we play our last game against him." Best-priced accumulators | New customer offers Wenger on the Emirates "We had to do it," he said, when asked if he would take back the stadium move in exchange for trophies. "There is no club that can turn people who wanted to attend the game down. At the time I thought we were a bit too ambitious with 60,000 (capacity) but at the end of the day it worked," he said. "It's not really happened because other clubs have used outside resources. We had a double handicap. We had to pay back the debt and had to face the competition where clubs have even more resources than they usually have. "I believe Highbury had a special spirit. It's a cathedral, a church. You could smell the soul of every guy that played there. So it was special. It will always be special for me. "The Emirates for me was like buying a new house. It took us a while to feel at home there. It's a fantastic stadium - but there was something special at Highbury that you could never recreate when you build something new. What are the odds? Huddersfield 19/4 Arsenal - 4/7 Draw - 18/5 What's our prediction? Jason Burt: There is nothing riding on Arsene Wenger’s last match in charge of Arsenal except for one thing – can he really end the season as the only manager in English football not to gain any points away from home in 2018? Surely the Arsenal players will not let that happen while Huddersfield, safe from relegation, may still be on that party bus. Prediction: 1-3

And so it is, finally, “au revoir” Arsene. Arsenal ended Arsene Wenger’s 1,235thand final match as the club’s manager with his 707st and final win bringing to a close his remarkable 22 years at the club. The only goal was scored by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Wenger’s last signing – or was it wholly his signing? – and at £56million in the January window the most expensive he ever made. The result meant that Arsenal did not suffer the ignominy of being the only team in the top four tiers of English football not to win a league point in 2018. For 22 years, for 1,235 games, for 49, 49 undefeated, for 7 FA Cups, for 3 @PremierLeague titles, for two Doubles, for winning the league at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane, for Wengerball, for the Invincibles, for your total love and devotion, we want to say... #MerciArsène❤️ pic.twitter.com/xkRXjLAid2— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 After seven successive Premier League defeats they won. One-nil to the Arsenal, in fact, although Wenger transformed them – in his pomp – into a much more free-flowing and brilliant football team which they will desperately hope to be again under his successor. Their sixth place finish is their lowest under the 68-year-old Frenchman and change is needed. It is “au revoir” of course and not goodbye as Wenger plans to work again, maybe even in the Premier League, and he will hope to be seen again in a dug-out in England. Wenger was afforded a guard of honour and a raucous reception before kick-off and peeled away to bow in front of the visiting Arsenal fans before trotting back to the away dug-out. On the roof of that dug-out there was a message - “Au revoir, Arsene et merci” – while Huddersfield paid their respects in words and images with Wenger’s face on the cover of the match programme. Arsene Wenger waves to the fans before the match Credit: Reuters It helped that Huddersfield were in celebratory mood having sealed their Premier League status with the mid-week draw away to Chelsea which, in terms of result, largely rendered the outcome of this game meaningless. Maybe that, also, was an appropriate final game for Wenger’s brilliant yet flawed reign. It would not end with a Europa League Final in Lyon against Marseille, his old nemesis, but here at Huddersfield. This game was not even televised. But there was also something else appropriate, and more fitting, with it being Huddersfield. Theirs is a history linked with Arsenal’s most celebrated manager before Wenger, Herbert Chapman, who won two leagues titles and an FA Cup for each club, of course. Fans hold up a Arsene Wenger banner Credit: Getty Soon after Steve Mounie spurned the first chance, planting a header too close to goalkeeper David Ospina – playing because Petr Cech had a minor injury – two planes circled the John Smith Stadium with banners thanking Wenger. How times had changed. The Arsenal fans sang: “He’s won more than you, Arsene Wenger, he’s won more than you” which provoked a response from the home supporters: "You wanted him out, you wanted him out... you two-faced b-------, you wanted him out." THE BOSS ❤️#MerciArsènepic.twitter.com/ThKzyCGKRw— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 13, 2018 It continued to be Huddersfield who threatened and Tom Ince should have put them in front when he collected Alex Pritchard’s low cross, took a touch but then blazed his shot wastefully over the cross-bar. On 22 minutes, as planned, the crowd rose to give Wenger’s a minute’s applause to mark his 22 years as the Arsenal manager. Arsenal finally went close when Sead Kolasinac stabbed the ball wide from a flicked on corner. He was unmarked. But at least they had finally showed some intent and that was emphasised when they took the lead, before half-time, following a slick passing move. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette combined with the latter sliding the ball through to Aaron Ramsey who prodded it across goal for Aubameyang to force home at close-range for his 10thleague goal since joining the club in January. That was tough on Huddersfield who had appeared the more ambitious side and they almost drew level when Pritchard again provided for Ince, with a reverse pass, and his low shot across goal was heading for the far corner of the goal until Ospina tipped it away. #classy #nicetouch Credit: Reuters The pressure grew on Arsenal. Corner after corner was won by Huddersfield but they struggled to create any clear opportunities. Arsenal fashioned their own, though, when Lacazette was put clear only for the striker to dink his shot, from Mkhitaryan’s pass, into the arms of goalkeeper Jonas Lossl who had rushed out. Lossl did even better to then deny substitute Danny Welbeck after he rode a challenge and shot low. The goalkeeper blocked with legs. Plane truth: a banner for Arsene Credit: Getty Huddersfield brought on Dean Whitehead, the 36-year-old midfielder who is retiring at the end of this season, as it turned into a celebration again although they came close to drawing level as Aaron Mooy clipped the top of the cross-bar with a cross-shot from Florent Hadergjonaj’s cushioned pass. In injury-time Huddersfield had one last chance as substitute Laurent Depoitre met a free-kick but he did not gain enough power and Ospina gathered and Wenger had his win as he quickly exited, straight down the tunnel as home fans invaded the pitch. 4:58PM Farewell, then, Arsene Wenger You were a brilliant manager and a good person.

Huddersfield Town Huddersfield boss David Wagner will select from an unchanged squad for his side's last Premier League game of the season at home against Arsenal. Wagner has no new injuries following Wednesday night's draw at Chelsea, which secured them another season in the top flight. Tom Ince is hoping to feature after recovering from a hamstring injury, while Michael Hefele (knee), Elias Kachunga and Danny Williams (both ankle) remain sidelined. Provisional squad: Lossl, Kongolo, Schindler, Jorgensen, Hadergjonaj, Hogg, Mooy, Van La Parra, Pritchard, Ince, Quaner, Mounie, Malone, Depoitre, Billing, Coleman, Lowe, Smith. Arsenal Arsenal will be without the suspended Konstantinos Mavropanos for Arsene Wenger's final game as manager when the Gunners travel to Huddersfield on the last day of the Premier League season. The young defender was shown a straight red card in Wednesday's 3-1 loss at Leicester and will be forced to sit out the game in West Yorkshire having started the Gunners' last three league matches. Mesut Ozil (back), Mohamed Elneny (ankle), Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla (both Achilles) are also missing but the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Jack Wilshere could return after sitting out in midweek. Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Bellerin, Holding, Mustafi, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Nelson, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Willock, Wilshere, Ramsey, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck, Lacazette, Nketiah, Aubameyang. What are they saying? David Wagner on Arsene Wenger "I can't imagine that this can happen again, so this only shows he has done something extraordinary," Wagner said. "Words don't describe enough how big this achievement is which he has done for his football club and football in this country. "I'm so happy that we are able to host him in his last Premier League game after 22 years, that we are able to host him in these circumstances, we really can give him all the honour and all the attention he deserves. "This is possible after our last result on Wednesday and we as a football club will do it. We have the biggest respect for what he has done and we're happy we play our last game against him." Best-priced accumulators | New customer offers Wenger on the Emirates "We had to do it," he said, when asked if he would take back the stadium move in exchange for trophies. "There is no club that can turn people who wanted to attend the game down. At the time I thought we were a bit too ambitious with 60,000 (capacity) but at the end of the day it worked," he said. "It's not really happened because other clubs have used outside resources. We had a double handicap. We had to pay back the debt and had to face the competition where clubs have even more resources than they usually have. "I believe Highbury had a special spirit. It's a cathedral, a church. You could smell the soul of every guy that played there. So it was special. It will always be special for me. "The Emirates for me was like buying a new house. It took us a while to feel at home there. It's a fantastic stadium - but there was something special at Highbury that you could never recreate when you build something new. What are the odds? Huddersfield 19/4 Arsenal - 4/7 Draw - 18/5 What's our prediction? Jason Burt: There is nothing riding on Arsene Wenger’s last match in charge of Arsenal except for one thing – can he really end the season as the only manager in English football not to gain any points away from home in 2018? Surely the Arsenal players will not let that happen while Huddersfield, safe from relegation, may still be on that party bus. Prediction: 1-3

Passions run high after Paul Pogba and Mark Noble go toe to toe as Man Utd secure second place

Unable or unwilling to give one another a game, these two tired defensive teams did at least provide us all with a fight when Mark Noble briefly lost the plot and squared up to Paul Pogba, in a moment of aggravation as unexpected as a scrap in a quiet country pub. Before then, two five-man defences had faced off in a game of little ambition involving a Jose Mourinho masterplan which involved expending the minimum energy for the return of a single point. That was the minimum the Manchester United manager said that he had come for to ensure that the last game of the season at Old Trafford could run smoothly with second place already secured. It had been going to plan for Mourinho with precious little of note having happened when, with three minutes of the regulation 90 to go, Pogba fouled Cheikhou Kouyate, Noble fouled Pogba, Pogba reciprocated and within seconds it had escalated surprisingly. The West Ham captain was giving away around a foot in height when he went chest-to-chest with his opponent but it did not stop him grabbing the Frenchman’s face, as if he was going to try to scale him rather than fight him. It should have been a red card for the West Ham captain, and Pogba, for all the sneakiness of the foul that had preceded it, did well to keep his cool, perhaps with the FA Cup final a week on Saturday in mind. The referee, Jonathan Moss, instead took the easy route out and booked both of them and, at the final whistle, Noble went over to make peace with an expression of mild embarrassment. There could yet be a Football Association charge for substitute Andy Carroll who came in the second wave and might even have thrown a punch at Luke Shaw, although he escaped any punishment on the night. Mark Noble grabs Paul Pogba by the neck Credit: REUTERS It had so nearly been one of those nights when nothing happens, and no-one seemed to care, when two teams were content to defend and the game ebbed away into moves that went nowhere. When it came to the fight Mourinho was indifferent, saying that from what he had seen of the replays, “it looks like Paul and Noble are in love – hugs and kisses and changing shirts”. All he cared about was the point to ensure second place and the careful husbanding of resources ahead of the Cup final against Chelsea that will do much to define his season. It was for that reason he was making defensive substitutions in the last few minutes of a game, breaking up the rhythm of a match that barely had any rhythm in the first place. “Any team that goes to this kind match where you need something to get some objective, you fight for that,” Mourinho said. “The best way to fight for the point was to try to win the match and be safe, which was what we tried. Luke Shaw returned to the Manchester United starting XI but with little impact Credit: Action Images “But when the game goes to 70, 75 minutes, you don’t win, you don’t lose, you do the job. You get the point. You finish second and you can face the game on Sunday with a different perspective. We deserved a point, we deserved second position. When it is not possible to be champions, second position is the best available which was what we got.” He will play Sergio Romero in goal against Watford and Michael Carrick will captain the team in the last game of his playing career before he joins the coaching staff at Old Trafford. Then it will be about the long run-in to the FA Cup final a week on Saturday which, after a season when they have trailed far behind Manchester City, will sound a different note. It was not helped by the indifference with which the crowd regarded this final match of the season at the unloved stadium, where another mediocre Premier League campaign ends not so much with a whimper as a sigh. The away fans sang that it was the “worst f------ ground we’ve ever seen” and they got little dissent from the home fans, some of whom seemed even to be applauding them. The final week sweep-up of all those games that should have happened at other times is often a painful exercise in who-cares, but this one seemed particularly poignant falling on the second anniversary of the last game at Upton Park. It was the same two teams that contested that epic goodbye that started with Jesse Lingard Snapchatting the attack on the away team bus and ended with a rattling good comeback and a 3-2 West Ham win that no-one was expecting. David Moyes praised his players for their performances. “If we couldn’t get three points than we were going to make sure we got one,” he said – it was that kind of night. Moyes said he thought little of the fight itself. “It had never been that type of game,” he said. “It came out of nowhere.” Marko Arnautovic did his best and was better when Carroll joined him in attack in the second half. The goalkeeper Adrian denied Alexis Sanchez and Lingard twice, also pushing Shaw’s drive onto the post. It was the fight that people will remember of this night, if they remember anything at all. 9:45PM What a difference five minutes make The two midfielders embrace more warmly at full-time Credit: AP Photo/Alastair Grant 9:39PM Well, this isn't very pleasant Noble shoves his hand into Pogba's face with force Credit: REUTERS/David Klein First Noble goes for the ear and then the mouth.

Carroll flies into shove Pogba away and then out come the handbags. 9:27PM 85 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Mark Noble, with memories of Saturday's pearler fresh, whacks a 25-yarder over the bar, high, wide and hideous. 9:25PM 83 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Carroll lofts a sand-wedge pass with his left foot over the United midfield for Arnautovic to chase. He gets there before Lindelof, waits for Carroll's run into the box then pings a cross to the far post that Shaw, gallantly, wins with a backheader despite feeling the fire of Carroll's breath on his neck. 9:22PM 81 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Noble picks out Arnautovic's run with a sumptuous 35-yard arced pass. Arnautovic hits the dropping ball first time with a left-foot volley that trims the side netting. 9:20PM 79 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd McTominay and Valencia combine on the right and the midfielder crosses deep where Rice wins the header.

Miss: West Ham 0 - 0 Man Utd (Paul Pogba, 62 min) 9:04PM 62 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Arnautovic wakes the Irons fans from their slumber by tearing on a diagonal in-to-out run through the United box. Jones dives in but misses and Arnautovic bullocks round him. Jones, though, tenaciously gets up and blocks the intended cut-back for Lanzini and United regroup. 9:02PM 60 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Noble chips a 40-yard pass into the box for Arnautovic. Smalling comes over the top, holding on, to win the header.

Credit: DAVID KLEIN/REUTERS 8:58PM 55 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Lingard plays a one-two with Pogba. The West Ham defenders melt back towards goal, inviting him to shoot. He RSVPs in the affirmative and drills a shot that Adrian doesn't have to move to grasp as easy as pie. 8:55PM 53 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Do you remember Jorge Valdano, then of Real Madrid, calling Liverpool vs Chelsea in 2005 's--- on a stick' football? I'd like to hear what he thinks of this garbage. 8:54PM 51 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Pogba, 25 yards out, looks to lay it off to Shaw on the overlap, takes the opportunity to switch it on to his right then scuds a shot that is deflected and decelerated. 8:52PM 49 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Lingard with another of his abject corners that doesn't clear the West Ham near-post sentry. From the clearance Pogba works it out to Sanchez on the left of the box, parallel with the posts and draws Adrian out of goal. Sanchez switches it on to his right and tries to bend it in at the far post but there are too many West Ham defenders and they hustle it clear. 8:50PM 48 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Pogba cuts in from the left, slips a pass in to Lingard's feet and he dribbles towards goal on a diagonal path before skelping a right-foot shot that is deflected behind. 8:48PM 46 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd 'Pogba plays like the team are 3-0 up,' says Gary Neville as we continue where we left off, ball pinging around a heavily congested middle third. 8:41PM Half time West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Here are the shot counts and paths ... West Ham vs Man Utd shots on goal ... the possession stats ... Possession: West Ham vs Man Utd ... and the weighted average touch positions which show Herrera as Man Utd's hub. Average touch positions (half time) 8:36PM Half time West Ham 0-0 Man Utd The half ends with Lingard's shot. United have had a few digs from distance and created their best chance for Shaw but their play lacks a cutting edge and a swagger. West Ham look dangerous on the break but once again it's one of those Premier League games that if you don't have your heart invested in either side you'd not give it your full attention. Too much insipid passing and mass defending. Pace and incisiveness would be a welcome addition in the second-half. 8:32PM 45 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Kouyate fouls Sanchez 40 yards out, to emphasise Gary Neville's point. They take it short and Lingard thrashes a shot with his laces from 25 yards, left of the D, that swerves and dips. Adrian, his feet in the wring starting position, adjusts smartly to push it wide. 8:30PM 43 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Sanchez picks up the ball on halfway and runs 15 yards until Joao Mario brings him down. Gary Neville points out that Sanchez is playing far to deep to be influential. He is constantly ball-hunting, as he did at Arsenal when possessed by Messiah complex, thinking only he could make the difference. 8:27PM 41 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Minutes of sterile possession from Manchester United who lack pace or playmaking guile. In the end Pogba loses patience and flays a shot wide. 8:25PM 39 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Pogba takes the ball forward towards halfway, overruns it and tries to win it back by lunging with his right foot and fells Kouyate with a kick on the shin. Awful ball control. 8:23PM 37 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Arnautovic again does Smalling, sprinting towards him, gulling him to commit and then beats him to the byline. He pulls back a cross to the near post for Joao Mario who cannot adjust his feet to flick the ball on target but stabs it behind. 8:21PM 36 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Lingard takes the corner from the right with his right foot, swinging it out to the edge of the box and West Ham easily clear and break. Their corners have been feeble so far. 8:20PM 34 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Cute diagonal from Rice up to Arnautovic who has two United defenders between him and De Gea and claims Lindelof fouls him to stop him. The referee doesn't agree and United hare up the right with Valencia who earns a corner. 8:18PM 33 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Lanzini tracks all the way back to the left-back position to try to tackle Valencia who fouls him. David Moyes and his ball-attracting cardigan Credit: Action Images via Reuters/John Sibley 8:16PM 30 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Cresswell who is still enterprising even though he is playing on the left side of a back three supports the attack down the right and when the ball arcs through the box he traps it and lines up a shot from 25 yards that he catches sweetly but sends it skimming wide of the right post. 8:14PM 28 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Arnautovic spurts down the right and burns off Smalling. His run narrows the angle for the shot so he tries to compromise with a cross that United scramble behind for a corner from which West Ham are penalised for being too handy in the box. 8:13PM 26 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Pogba's battle with Kouyate is turning nice and spicy. Zabaleta is all arms and legs when the ball from Valencia's cross leaps awkwardly and caught him on the left forearm. The ref waves play on and he scrambles the ball behind for a corner that United waste once more and West Ham break. 8:11PM 24 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Shaw hits the post after Manchester United turn up the intensity, Adrian gets a vital touch to stop the left-back scoring his maiden United goal. It was appropriate that Adrian saved West Ham because his weak save from Sanchez's straight shot set up the chance for Shaw. West Ham vs Man Utd 8:08PM 23 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd From the goalkick, United win it back and Lingard has a dig from 25 yards that moves and dips but is too close to Adrian. 8:07PM 21 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Ogbonna blocks Shaw's low cross through the West Ham box. It's another low cross from Shaw which may be deliberate given the diddy nature of Sanchez and Lingard, though the former is a beast in the air. The ball ricochets to a spot about 25 yards out and McTominay is first to it an d fires a swerving shot wide. 8:05PM 19 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Free-kick, 40-yards out, too close to Adrian. United were dreadful at Brighton and are pretty terrible so far tonight. 8:03PM 16 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Sanchez and Pogba combine to go on a dribble apiece up the inside-right channel but lose the ball. Arnautovic gives them another opportunity with a foul. 8:02PM 13 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Manchester United doze when they take the corner and West Ham break sharply up the left. Lindelof comes out of the middle, Valencia hares back but Cresswell manages to get the cross in that bounces awkwardly through the box. Arnautovic arrives at the back post, too soon to meet the deflected flight of the ball perfectly and he has to crane his body backwards to improvise a finish that he can't get on target. 7:57PM 11 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Pogba gambols down the left, heads for the byline but Zabaleta slides in, misses with his leading foot then improvises to hook it behind with his left. United have a corner, which they waste with a shoddy delivery. 7:56PM 9 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd It might be the positioning of the microphones, or the fact United's away fans habitually make more noise than their home ones, but it's only them you can hear. Lingard is dragged back by Joao Mario, who put an arm on his biceps as he writhed past. Lingard went down as if he'd had his legs whacked behind the knees with a thick walking cane. 7:53PM 7 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd David Moyes is wearing a claret cardigan, the ind a Smiths' fan would have worn to Fresher's Week in 1986. Is he trying to do for the cardi what Rafa Benitez has done for the waistcoat. Arnautovic wriggles free of Herrera and strides towards the box. He tries to surprise De Gea with an early shot but toe-pokes it straight down the keeper's throat. 7:51PM 5 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Pogba sprays a pass out to Shaw on the overlap and he crosses low first-time on the run but its trajectory bends it away from Sanchez's run and Masuaku intercepts. 7:50PM 4 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Not a great deal of urgency so far or precision in the passing. Both sides making the kind of milky starts that have bedevilled their seasons. 7:48PM 2 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Kouyate snaps into a tackle and wins the ball off Pogba but Manchester United press hard to force their opponents backwards to pass it around in their half until they lose possession when they cross halfway. Joao Mario loses the 40-60 pass. 7:47PM 1 min West Ham 0-0 Man Utd Manchester United in their tin foil kit kick off as the bubbles swirl around the Olympic Stadium. Lingard chases a ball up the right from Valencia but Adrian gets to it first. When Manchester United try the same again Ogbonna heads it clear. 7:43PM Out come the teams Patrice Evra renews auld acquaintance with some of those vertical arm-wrestle position-style slappy handshakes. 7:40PM David Moyes speaks, too We pick up where we left off against Leicester. At home we’ve always got a chance, and hopefully this evening we can show that. We passed the ball well on Saturday, made quite a few openings. We didn’t make the most of all of them. Let’s hope we can take them tonight. 7:39PM Jose Mourinho speaks We need a point. We have two matches, but hopefully we can do it today. Are we going to play for the point? No. We’re going to try to win. But we have a clear objective, which is to finish second. And to finish second, we need a point. 7:33PM Enormous excitement From Sky, who are treating it like a Championship match. Fifteen minutes build-up and straight into it. Let's hope it catches on. 7:02PM Those teams in black and white West Ham Adrian; Rice, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Zabaleta, Kouyate, Noble, Masuaku; Joao Mario, Lanzini; Arnautovic.

It has, at least in the Premier League era, proved a fine staging post for top spot the following season - in fact the equivalent of Everest's camp four rather than base camp - as they went on to win the title the season after they were runners-up on each of the last six occasions (1992, 1995, 1998, 2006, 2010 and 2012) but didn't manage it the last three times they were second in the old League Division One (1968, 1980 and 1988). Omen or coincidence? Let's not have a heated debate. West Ham have enjoyed wazzing on United's chips in the past - most notably the 'obscene' victory in 1992 and Ludek Miklosko defying Andy Cole to earn a point that helped Blackburn to the title in 1995 - but their recent record at home, the raucous triumph in their final game at Upton Park two years ago when Michail Antonio and Winston Reid turned it round with a few minutes to go, has been painful. Brian McClair on Sir Alex Ferguson What can we expect tonight? While there's relief that they are now safe from the threat of relegation it is no panacea for solving West Ham's problems, the disconnect between those who love the club and those who own it, the loss of identity, terroir and a clear, coherent vision of what the club means, what it's for, that had sustained it since 1895. It's not presumptuous or hubristic for fans not to want Sam Allardyce or David Moyes. Pragmatism appeals to owners but fans see it for what it is: self-limiting. They want commitment, passion, style, not conservative football that's anathema to their ideal of what the club is and the values for which it has always stood. And that is precisely Manchester United's fans' predicament too, albeit at a more rarefied level. Who knows if there will be any signs of a brighter, more appropriate future for both sides tonight.

Passions run high after Paul Pogba and Mark Noble go toe to toe as Man Utd secure second place

Unable or unwilling to give one another a game, these two tired defensive teams did at least provide us all with a fight when Mark Noble briefly lost the plot and squared up to Paul Pogba, in a moment of aggravation as unexpected as a scrap in a quiet country pub. Before then, two five-man defences had faced off in a game of little ambition involving a Jose Mourinho masterplan which involved expending the minimum energy for the return of a single point. That was the minimum the Manchester United manager said that he had come for to ensure that the last game of the season at Old Trafford could run smoothly with second place already secured. It had been going to plan for Mourinho with precious little of note having happened when, with three minutes of the regulation 90 to go, Pogba fouled Cheikhou Kouyate, Noble fouled Pogba, Pogba reciprocated and within seconds it had escalated surprisingly. The West Ham captain was giving away around a foot in height when he went chest-to-chest with his opponent but it did not stop him grabbing the Frenchman’s face, as if he was going to try to scale him rather than fight him. It should have been a red card for the West Ham captain, and Pogba, for all the sneakiness of the foul that had preceded it, did well to keep his cool, perhaps with the FA Cup final a week on Saturday in mind. The referee, Jonathan Moss, instead took the easy route out and booked both of them and, at the final whistle, Noble went over to make peace with an expression of mild embarrassment. There could yet be a Football Association charge for substitute Andy Carroll who came in the second wave and might even have thrown a punch at Luke Shaw, although he escaped any punishment on the night. Mark Noble grabs Paul Pogba by the neck Credit: REUTERS It had so nearly been one of those nights when nothing happens, and no-one seemed to care, when two teams were content to defend and the game ebbed away into moves that went nowhere. When it came to the fight Mourinho was indifferent, saying that from what he had seen of the replays, “it looks like Paul and Noble are in love – hugs and kisses and changing shirts”. All he cared about was the point to ensure second place and the careful husbanding of resources ahead of the Cup final against Chelsea that will do much to define his season. It was for that reason he was making defensive substitutions in the last few minutes of a game, breaking up the rhythm of a match that barely had any rhythm in the first place. “Any team that goes to this kind match where you need something to get some objective, you fight for that,” Mourinho said. “The best way to fight for the point was to try to win the match and be safe, which was what we tried. Luke Shaw returned to the Manchester United starting XI but with little impact Credit: Action Images “But when the game goes to 70, 75 minutes, you don’t win, you don’t lose, you do the job. You get the point. You finish second and you can face the game on Sunday with a different perspective. We deserved a point, we deserved second position. When it is not possible to be champions, second position is the best available which was what we got.” He will play Sergio Romero in goal against Watford and Michael Carrick will captain the team in the last game of his playing career before he joins the coaching staff at Old Trafford. Then it will be about the long run-in to the FA Cup final a week on Saturday which, after a season when they have trailed far behind Manchester City, will sound a different note. It was not helped by the indifference with which the crowd regarded this final match of the season at the unloved stadium, where another mediocre Premier League campaign ends not so much with a whimper as a sigh. The away fans sang that it was the “worst f------ ground we’ve ever seen” and they got little dissent from the home fans, some of whom seemed even to be applauding them. The final week sweep-up of all those games that should have happened at other times is often a painful exercise in who-cares, but this one seemed particularly poignant falling on the second anniversary of the last game at Upton Park. It was the same two teams that contested that epic goodbye that started with Jesse Lingard Snapchatting the attack on the away team bus and ended with a rattling good comeback and a 3-2 West Ham win that no-one was expecting.
